UAC Foods, a division of UAC of Nigeria Plc, has reiterated its commitment never to compromise the quality of its various brands, a policy that has sustained the company as market leader.

The company also affirmed its respect for the cultural and religious values of its customers, which come into play in the formulation and manufacturing of all its products.

In a statement by Mr Chris Adedipe, the Divisional Managing Director of UAC Foods, the company dismissed an internet-based campaign by a network of Islamic groups which claimed that a Gala vehicle reported loaded pigs from a piggery in Idimu area of Lagos State.

Adedipe said the story is completely unfounded and urged customers of UAC Foods not to be worried about it as it is a mere smear campaign.

For over 47 years, Gala Sausage Roll has not only been the market leader, it has enjoyed phenomenal success as it continues to satisfy the nutritional and emotive snack needs of Nigerians on a daily basis.

Adedipe said: “In compliance with standard manufacturing practice, all ingredients used in our products are listed on the product packs for consumer information. Neither Gala Sausage Roll nor any of our products contains pork as an ingredient. As responsible men and women in the Islamic faith, it is our expectation that information such as the one in the mail network be investigated and verified before circulation as failure to do so could lead to character vilification with attendant consequences.”

Adedipe assured that the company is open to any enquiry or visit to its factory by representatives of the coalition of the Islamic groups.

UACN Plc, of which UAC Foods is part of, has delivered good quality service to Nigeria since 1879. A socially responsible corporate organisation which lives true to its current theme campaign of “doing good”, UAC is mindful of the cultural and religious sensibilities of its teeming consumers. The Group values its consumers and respect their diverse values by its acts of rigorous quality process of material specification, formulation and manufacturing for all its products.
